Description

Elemental leatherworking is what I know, and if you're willing to open your mind to the greater powers of substance, I will share with you all there is to learn.

Know this, <class>: by choosing this path you agree never to learn dragonscale or tribal leatherworking; there is only room for practice of one of the three arts. Furthermore, I'll need adequate proof that you are in tune with the elements of nature; to that end, bring me the purest essences of fire, water, earth, and wind.

I went to that guy north of Steamwheedle, and I didnt see a book. I was still able to go to the elemental trainer in the Searing Gorge and learn it though.

What is the best path for a DPS Shaman to go? I was told it wouln't matter because when you reach outlands the beneficial stuff you can learn wont matter what path you choose to follow. I'm currently a level 47 Draenei Shaman wondering what path i should go down untill i get to Outlands.

To get the Elemental Leatherworking quest, you have to be at least level 40.

All the items you need is BOE so it's a good idea to get it before accepting the quest.

Obtaining Elemental Leatherworking(Thanks everyone! I've taken information from various posts and decided to put it all together for those that would like to pursue this trade skill)

In order to get the quest, you'll need to be:At least level 40 and have a leatherworking skill of 225.

Alliance:You can obtain the quest "Elemental Leatherworking" from Sarah Tanner in the Searing Gorge. You can find her around 63, 75. For those without coordinates, you can find her along the South East wall. Once you pass the robot, just keep following the wall - there's no need to try to climb the mountains to reach her.

I did a little research to help myself and others find the most beneficial spots for obtaining all of the mats required to complete the quest for both NPCs. Materials needed and where you can get them:*Personally, I suggest you try to go for the Hearts, Cores and Globes in Felwood. I like to get as many items in one area as possible. Of course, I did this with my rogue ;) Those players that can travel or don't mind taking the time may choose to bounce to the other spots.

I grinded out the Entropic Horrors and Entropic Beasts in the Shatter Scar Vale for these. You can find them around 40, 43 in Felwood. Click on the links to see map locations, if you do not use coordinates. Remember this: When you're hunting these it may seem like there aren't very many. If you loop around the back there are quite a few more. So, you should be safe with running circles and not run out of mobs to kill.

Other suggested mobs include the fire elementals in Un'Goro Crater. You can find them around Fire Plume Ridge, near 52, 44 (almost the very center of the map).

I also got these in Felwood. These are also located in the Shatter Scar Vale. The Infernal Sentry and Infernal Bodyguards had a decent drop rate for me. Of course, killing them while killing the mobs above at the same time made this quick :) Again, remember to run around the back so you can keep a fast flow of grinding.

Guess what? I also got these in Felwood! These dropped decently for me (at level 58) from the Toxic Horrors found in the center of Iron Tree Woods. Coordinates are approximately 49, 24. Make a loop around the water being sure to check the ones in the back. These do poison, but are fairly easy to take down. * 2 x Breath of Wind

Alright, now these were a PITA in my opinion. Firstly, it really depends on your level and which mobs you'd prefer to grind for this. I found that I'd rather stay in a concentrated area and kill for my drops, versus running around a zone for 2 hours. So, I traveled to Silithus and hunted the Whirling Invaders and Dust Stormers. You can find them around 33, 15 - in Northwestern Silithus. I got 3 (I got the additional drop on my way out - figures!) within 45 minutes. But of course, this depends on your luck, level and kill speed. A level 70 will most certainly get this drop faster. A word of caution, there is an elite that patrols this area with 3 guards. He's fairly easy to spot, however, so don't stress it!

The other suggested mobs for this item are the Gusting Vortex in Tanaris. According to a very helpful post, you can patrol this zone. It seems that there are two good spawn points for these mobs (around 44, 47 and 48, 62). These mobs do share their spawn points with the rock elementals. If they are spawned, don't turn and run - kill them so you continue the rotation. From what I understand the spawn points listed usually respawn about every 15 minutes or so. Other than that, you can check out the spawn points on the mob link above. The spawn points seem pretty random, so just mount up and make a run. It's also helpful to make a /target macro to assist with spotting the mobs.

Sorry for the terribly long post - but I'm the kind of person that likes to find all the information I need in one spot :) Hopefully this information will be helpful and make your task a little easier!

Happy WoWin'!

Anyone confirm that Alliance only get 600 XP for this quest while Horde get 4200 XP? That doesn't seem fair.

Comment by sabri

One Question: I am wondering if it matters what leatherworking you are at level 80, anyone have some input on this? Would be great =)

Comment by burns91

Great post above!

Got most everything in Felwood: Entropic Horrors/Entroptic Beasts for the Heart of Fire, Infernal Sentry/Infernal Bodyguards for the Core of Earth, and Toxic Horrors for the Globe of Water. The Breath of Wind came from the Whirling Invaders and Dust Stormers in Tanaris.
